The highest number of people in the game at once, each month. Four, because four is as far back as the source keeps anything finer than one figure a month.

Let’s do the TL;DR, and after that, if you’re interested, we can go into the gory details. I have missed the May 6th date. Hilariously. Not even close. Phoenix will come out late this year. Before GTA6, you ask? I can only hope. So what…
DjArcasI realise you’re all busy people, so let’s cut straight to the chase; I have unequivocally missed the planned launch date, and have moved it 6 months out, to May 6th, 2026. Now that the bandaid’s ripped off, let’s dig into the how and why…
DjArcas(This is a post about the sequel to Evolved, known as Phoenix : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1038080 )So, let’s start with the bad news and then unpack it a bit. Managing expectations is one of the most important things you can do with…
DjArcasI'd love to think that every single one of you will be seeing all of the Phoenix news, but sadly Valve don't work like that. So every so often, I'll be doing these annoying posts, telling you what's happening over on Phoenix. Wishlist…
DjArcasIf you still play FortressCraft:Evolved - read this! If you don't play any more, but you have a save game that you might one day decide to go back to, and look at with the horror 'What WAS I thinking?', read this! If you aren't ever going…
DjArcasAs 2019 draws to a close, I thought I would drop you a few notes. First of all, a reminder that we have a very active Discord : https://discord.gg/advmf8S - there's always someone there to answer questions, give advice on builds, or help…
DjArcasHere's patch 24 for you, and also, Merry Christmas! I hope to see you all in the future! SkyIslands Fixes Slightly reworked Ore spawns on Sky Island to be wider and more reliable: 450-530 - Nickel 380-450 - Gold 280-350 Titanium 220-270…
Patch notesSo before I finally say goodbye to FortressCraft, I do want to ensure it's in the best state I can get it to. To that end, there's planned to be one more patch, with a few important longevity and 'most-demanded' fixes. So we have IPV6…
DjArcas..was totally working perfectly during testing, but as we all know, no plan survives contact with the enemy! I've release a Win64 patch into the Staging branch tonight - this has a number of fixes, and should alleviate most of the major…
DjArcasI'm aware of the permissions issue that some of you might be seeing with The Adventures Pack. I'm currently streaming here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/254200/FortressCraft_Evolved/ and my PC is building the builds in the…
Patch notesIf you've followed me at all on Twitter, Discord or any of my Streaming Adventures(tm), you'll know I blimmin' love FortressCraft. If it wasn't my game, I'd play the crap out of it, and pester the Dev to fix all the stuff that annoyed me.…
DjArcasDifferent days can provide wildly inconsistent amounts of work. Some days I can get half a dozen new machines in. Other days, I can spend looking at one line of code and end up achiving nothing. This month has been one of the latter months…
DjArcasIf you have a burning desire or feature or change you want in, then you're running out of time to persuade me and others - https://www.reddit.com/r/FCE/comments/8h00yn/what_next/ Current top candidates are Conveyor Corners, the MK4 turret…
DjArcasThese days, of course, it's impossible to ship anything without breaking something, despite the tireless work of the testing crew, telling me how broken I've made anything - so therefore, have a tiny patch! Fix List Fixed endless 'Base…
DjArcasThis month has been almost entirely focused on the new Freight Carts, and a complete, end-to-end playthrough of the entire game, networked, from the very start, right until the building, testing and firing of the new Rail Gun. Note : The…
DjArcasJust a reminder - all of the Loading Screens in FortressCraft are supplied by the community - got an amazing pic you want in there? Let me know!…
DjArcasHere were are, at the 20th free Content Patch since we left Early Access. I'm going to keep saying that until it sinks in - I've *only* had a dozen people refer to it as Early Access in the last month, so maybe it's sinking in! This patch…
DjArcasThen it's time to opt into the shiny new P19-Frozen! P20 should be made live early tomorrow morning, featuring a huge swathe of optimisations, loads of progress on the Adventures Pack DLC, and just a couple of brilliantly-clever new…
DjArcasI've got a Reddit thread going on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FCE/comments/8h00yn/what_next/ If you get a moment, it would be great if you could pop along and vote on the features you'd like me to prioritise. If you have several moments…
DjArcasIt's a tiny Monday patch for you all! RackRailer graphics updated Fixed hand-off issue with conveyor MK3 turrets now need Lenses, not Eyes. Macerators don't tell you about their power, as they don't use it You should now spawn in front of a…
DjArcas(Important note - if you DO NOT WANT TO OPT INTO P19, then please select P18-frozen from your Steam beta client BEFORE entering the world) And here we are, once again, for the 19th free content patch since leaving Early Access. This patch…
DjArcasAnd that time of the month rolls around, and the 19th free content patch since leaving Early Access (say that when you're drunk) is lurching its way towards completion. Remember - after the patch has gone live is TOO LATE to give feedback…

DjArcasPatch 18 fixes and improves CryoPlasm to a great degree. If you have been gently going through Frozen Factory, going 'meh, Cryo? It's not all that', and you haven't been creating strong defences, then you have 2 options. 1) Finish Frozen…
